Over Christmas I met a textile artist called Jan Connett, who is making the most of her redundancy from Bristol City Council by reconnecting with her creativity.
In her Heart Felt project she has invited local people to write expressions of emotion on tag label as to what is going on in their lives and attach them to different types of heart-shaped images. The work is to be collected by the end of January 2010 and collated as an art installation and book. A website is being designed.
This engagement of non-artists in creative pieces has been a feature of the past year, notably Antony Gormley's fourth plinth project in Trafalgar Square. I hope the response to Jan's project is equally productive and rewarding for everyone involved.
